About the Space

Windhover Hall is often used for ceremonies and receptions. Cocktail hour can take place on the Baumgartner Terrace adjacent to the great hall (with Baumgartner Galleria serving as an alternate if inclement weather). The Quadracci Suite, perched above Windhover Hall, usually serves as a bridal staging area, Lubar Auditorium for the groomsmen, and the Northwestern Mutual Meeting Room as a staging area for either or both catering and floral. The Schroeder or Baumgartner Galleria is also used during cocktail hour, as Windhover Hall is flipped from the ceremony to a reception hall that can comfortably seat up to 400 guests.
